Duties:
- Prepare and cook a variety of menu items according to recipes and presentation standards.
- Ensure food safety and sanitation standards are met at all times.
- Assist in the preparation of ingredients, including chopping, slicing, and marinating.

- Help train new kitchen staff on proper food handling techniques and kitchen protocols.
Qualifications:
- Have a minimum of 1-2 years of experience working in a full‑service café/restaurant kitchen, especially with brunch/breakfast items.
- Be able to handle high-volume periods, like weekend brunch and dinner rushes.
- Be detail‑oriented and be able to multi-tasks (presentation matters at Kaffeology; many dishes are visually appealing).
- Be flexible with schedule: early mornings, weekends, possibly late evenings.
- Be physical: standing for long shifts, lifting, moving, and working around hot equipment.
- Know food safety basics—must have or obtain ServSafe or equivalent certification within 30 days if hired.

- Possess great communication skills, time-management, professionalism, and a teamwork attitude.
